No matter what, MS already has a big cloud service already running. Now. To try out for everyone. This has nothing to do with what they would be able to do with their streaming service but the infrastucture is ready *now*. data centers, serves, contracts with peerings, everything. Now Sony has to show us what they are able to do and I hope it will be 2014. I hope 2014 is also for Europe, everything else would mean they bought a service which was never ready in Europe for masses. |
You don't need to be a technician to know a bullshit statement when you read one.
Seriously. Just because MS has 300k servers does not mean Sony's service is bad. It means MS service could be POTENTIALLY MUCH BETTER, and even then, the qualification of BETTER is subjective.
For instance, like I said before I like the xb1 aside from some things. Not enough to buy it instead of a ps4, but definitely reignited my interest in the xbox brand. There are a lot of great things in it, but to say that it is BETTER....FOR ME....is just simply not true. For instance, like the cloud, xb1 has many facets. A lot of them aren't wortha dime to me. XBOX fitness? Umm I go to the gym 5 times a week already, and with buddies, and I'm such a regular and have made friends with all the staff that they allow me to bring anyone I want for free, and I even have a huge discount and trainer help whenever I want it. SO yeah, nothing of worth to me.
Football?
I like football a lot, but I usually go out to watch...like to bars with friends. I also have many friends at bars and get drinks for free mostly. AGain...no value.
Kinect?
It's decent. I like a lot about it, but it's not a huge deal for me. I do like voice controlled channel switching and commands. So that has value to me.
Games?
They are good games, I'll grant. That has value to me. But...I also work three jobs and hang out with friends near constantly. I kind of prefer portable gaming on my 3ds, vita, and galaxy.
So...to me...the xb1 is 500$ for kinect and some games.
I know it seems like quite a ramble and off topic, but if you take this into context, it makes sense.
Just because something has the capability of a lot of things doesn't mean the competition does what they do poorly, nor does it guarantee a quality valuable service.
POTENTIAL.
Granted, ps3 sold on the platform of potential...which it lived up to. We will have to wait and see if xb1 and its cloud can live up to their own potential. If it can, I'll get one.
If you didn't know, I didn't buy a ps3 until it hit 400. I bought a wii and a 360 previous. Perspective.
